Maxwell D. Taylor. General Taylor is being sent by President Kennedy to survey that country’s struggle against Communist guerrillas. “This American general’s mission is to intensify U.S. intervention in South Vietnam and prepare the way for introducing U.S. troops into that part of Vietnam,” the Communist statement said. Earlier, Beijing radio disclosed that Chinese Communist and North Vietnamese leaders had held a strategy meeting in Beijing in advance of General Taylor’s trip.
